Joint Oireachtas Committee on Housing, Planning and Local Government

Review and Consolidation of Planning Legislation: Department of Housing, Local Government and Heritage (Resumed)

Mr. Colin Ryan:

It was a requirement in the old rural housing guidelines, if memory serves me right, as was the seven-year period. The only rationale for its removal is that the banks or a mortgage holder could come in. If someone is looking to change a condition of permission, it is a requirement that it must be applied for. We will look at that. If a condition is being changed, that is a public act. It is a condition of a permission. It is the same if someone wants to change the number of bedrooms or whatever it might be in that situation.
